When midwesterner Chris Mundy
’88 decided on a location for his latest TV show, he chose present-day
Detroit, whose bombed-out blocks and crumbling buildings are a perfect
backdrop for the program’s atmosphere of decay and corruption. Low Winter Sun,
which debuted on AMC in August with Mundy as writer and executive
producer, tells the story of a cop drawn into the underworld after
murdering another officer. Mundy, pictured above, right, on the set
with director Ernest Dickerson, adapted the thriller from a British
miniseries set in Scotland. Asked in an interview why he chose Detroit,
he said, “It just seemed like the most pure version of what I was
hoping to go for.” The show airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EST.
